This art-filled home is close to the beach in The Plantation Resort with many amenities. You’ll love the house because of the finishes are outstanding, the beds are comfortable, and the house is tranquil while still being inside the coveted Omni Plantation Resort. The house is good for couples and families (with kids). While access to Omni Resort pools is not available, miles of trails, recreation facilities, amazing restaurants, and world-class golfing are all for your enjoyment.

The exceptionally appointed house has every modern amenity rendered in a coastal tradition.

A yearly calendar of events is fun-filled and well-attended. Events are hosted by the resort each year, including a wine festival, golf tournaments, and a jazz festival. The Plantation features a full-service spa, kids’ club, and stocked fishing lake. The Plantation is situated between 3 ½ miles of white sand beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway, convenient for those with boats.

The property was lovely, upon arrival we noticed a damp almost sour smell then we noticed an air purifier by the front door. There was also one in the front bedroom. We think the carpet and pad had been wet and soured. It was definitely very noticeable by all of us. We did mention this to the manager. It doesn't seem to be pulling out the moisture.

Beautiful home with plenty of space for 8 of us. The property manager was very helpful when a thunderstorm tripped some GFI switches in the electrical panel. Plenty of parking available and golf cart rental nearby was a bonus.

Great house! Perfect for our stay for our daughter’s wedding in Amelia. House was as described but the pictures don’t do the screened in porch justice. Amazing space. Would definitely stay again.

I cannot express how pleased we all are with this place. This was our second Thanksgiving spent here. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer this past October so we tried to center everything around her. She is still calling me to tell me she misses "her house." We miss it as well! My husband has started to have his morning meditation on the lanai and he loved it. I still have to work and the lanai is my favorite spot. Thank you for putting a smile on all of our faces especially my mother. She is EXTREMELY PICKY. I pray we are able to bring her back here again. You have a SPECIAL GEM here!

This home is a beautifully-curated property located on immaculately manicured grounds. A lovely gift basket awaited us, and came in so handy as we relaxed on the fantastic lanai. The home is sparkling clean, thoughtfully decorated, and had all the necessities and little luxuries needed for a lovely trip. We had such a nice time... thank you!

Amazing place to stay!

This was one of the most awesome experiences we’ve had in Amelia Island. We go frequently but never stayed in the Gilligan’s house before. Absolutely beautiful! We had such a restful and enjoyable stay. The the area is quiet and beautiful and I venture to say that we have never experienced Amelia island quite in the way we did on this trip. I can’t say enough about how beautiful this house and how much we enjoyed the screened in porch area. It was a piece of heaven. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

You won’t be disappointed

The previous ratings on this house are spot on. It’s very comfortable, clean, and exceptionally well-stocked. The porch is very special. If you are there in good weather, you will live on the porch. Our group of three couples are golfers. The course at the Omni is terrific and only a two minute drive from the house. Also terrific walking and bike paths. In short, a terrific rental. You won’t be disappointed.

BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!!!!

BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!!!!

I have stayed at many a VRBO, cabins, etc. This place is the best place yet. The pleasant communication with the owners started months prior. There was no editing of pics! In fact, the pics do not do this place justice. Solitude, peace, and perfection is what we experienced for Thanksgiving! Plus, the kids had games to play, books to read, and kiddie cups and cutlery ON HAND!!!!!!!!!! I cannot give a high enough rating! My husband asked me to book this place again for no particular celebration, just for the PEACE!

This property is a hidden gem in Fernandina Beach. We used a jumping off place for our family, attending our son's wedding in Yulee. Family members stopped by for coffee and a gathering place for the venue. Couldn't asked for a better location or house. Pictures just doesn't due this property justice.

A worthy hideaway

A worthy hideaway

Nestled on a private street is a house that is deceptively large. Every amenity is present. The large screened in back area would be better enjoyed in the fall or spring seasons, but offers an early morning reprieve if one wishes. This was our second time staying here and it did not disappoint.

This property is by far the best I have stayed at since vacation Amelia Island! It felt like home from the minute we arrived. Loved sitting on the enclosed lanai and looking out over the backyard pond. Evenings were spent strolling the community walkways. Everything was so lush! This property inspired us to see a realtor for a similar property to make our own! Loved our stay!

Perfect For Our Family

Perfect For Our Family

Amelia Island is our favorite beach spot. We’ve been traveling there for about 15 years and have stayed in several different locations with the Plantation becoming our favorite. This house was perfect for what we needed and the location was very convenient-on the marsh side but not too far from the bridge. It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen is fully stocked with every cooking tool you need and plenty of space to prep etc. It was a very comfortable stay for us and our boys loved being able to step outside and fish in the pond! It will definitely stay on our list of favorites!

Amelia Island Getaway

Amelia Island Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed the location of this home in proximity to the activities. It is a quiet neighborhood in a gated community. The home was more than beautiful. Very clean, neat, beautifully decorated and spacious. The layout of the home was well appointed. The back screened in porch overlooking the water was so inviting. The community has shopping nearby, close to grocery stores as well as small boutiques. Golf carts available to rent to get around. The beach is very close by. We are an avid fishing family. Boat docks and storage are close. by. The only negative I wish we had been warned about were the rules for the gated community. We were not allowed to keep our boat and trailer on site. It ended up not being an issue for us because we were able to secure a slip at a local marina. The street was too small to pull the boat down so plan to store your boat and trailer before coming to the home. Fernandina Beach has several marinas and storage places if needed. The gate guard is also able to provide a list if needed. Just plan ahead if bringing along a boat. Otherwise this property was an A plus.

As advertised...

July 11 - 18, 2020: We had a great time at this place. If anything, it's a bit bigger than we expected. All one level was a plus. Open kitchen that looks into great room was also a benefit. The large screened in area wasn't usable due to the hot temperatures...I would imagine it's divine in the spring and fall. The only negative is that this property didn't come with complimentary access to a golf car. This was known upfront, but many other properties at this properties include one. To rent one would have added another $650+ to the week. Just something to keep in mind. All that being said, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

AMAZING (in EVERY way!!!)

AMAZING (in EVERY way!!!)

Hopefully...Evan and family will understand the four star rating for accuracy of online listing....It can't be accurate because even though pictures are worth a thousand words...the pictures do NOT do this place justice...even closely! We've stayed numerous places on the plantation for over 20 years. We lean towards the beach side but have had wonderful stays on the marsh side as well. We like having a pool for the kids. This was marsh side with no pool....WHO CARES???? This was the perfect house for us...great layout, best appointed kitchen EVER, tremendous back porch where we spent at least 50% of our time while at the house, cool lagoon area, peaceful, beautifully decorated (thank you for trusting your guests to not break/take things and allowing us to enjoy your cute and artsy touches!) , updated in so many ways...I could go on and on. We have never been SO eager to return to a place as we are this one. Lisa was so welcoming and friendly. Having the owner call to check on us was so thoughtful. The Gilligan should be so proud of their beautiful,comfortable home and I'm sure they know they have a gem of a property manager. Thank you for making our annual trek to AI so enjoyable and relaxing. We plan on returning next year!! (I really dislike to having to divulge all this info for fear of having a hard time securing this place in the future but it was too special to not share honestly!_

GREAT house!

This home was perfect for our family, including adults and children. The interior space was perfect and the location was good for all we wanted to do in the area. The house is well equipped with a big kitchen and two eating areas. The living space and lanai worked beautifully for our family, and we hope to rent again in the future. The management contact responded within minutes for any question or information we needed, even on a holiday period- exceptional! This kind of experience makes for return visits!!

We had a great couple of weeks staying at this home. Dennis Gilligan has done a great job of updating this home which sits on a beautiful and private lot on the west side of AIA. bedrooms and bathrooms are all a great size and tastefully furnished and there is ample parking. Thanks Evan and Dennis - we will be back!

Great Stay

Overall impression was that we had a great stay. House is very well maintained, with beautiful scenery and privacy. Very detailed instructions on how everything works, who to call, and what to do to enjoy your stay. Evan was very responsive to any questions you had, but was kind to stay out of the way. Lisa (property manager) was very nice and personable. Very responsive to any issues and a great help. The place is absolutely beautiful and spacious. The only bad issue about the home is that it makes it very hard to get the family to go anywhere else! Great TV, Wifi, Appliances, and little touches that make "living" there a piece of cake. I highly recommend this property. It simply has everything you need or want. Great Home Evan!! Great Service Lisa!!
